A NEW DIRECTION WITH A NEW SITE AND A NEW FEED

Partnering with the ACAC hockey teams and coaches resulted in many milestones including the establishment of the ACAC Hockey Information Guides and ACAC Hockey Weekly in 1994, the establishment of the ACAC Hockey Online website in 1998 (two years prior to a conference website), the establishment of ACAC Hockey Online's Player of the Week in 2009, the establishment of the @acacmens and @acacwomens feeds on Twitter in 2011 (eight months prior to a conference feed) and the acknowledgement of ACAC Hockey Online's 50 of the 50th in 2014 for men's hockey. The 2016 ACAC Men's & Women's Records based upon information compiled and reconciled in the spring of 2016 culminate the partnership's efforts.

Without the ongoing assistance, co-operation, support and trust of the hockey coaches over 35 years of involvement in ACAC hockey, the aforementioned would not have been possible. A positive environment existed which provided a forum to relay ACAC hockey information.

The header above has image links to the new site and new feed while the footer below has links to service providers that deserve consideration with respect to application services, design services, and sports services as well as freelance editing, writing, and photography.

In addition to ACAC Hockey Online's 50 of the 50th, contact information for head coaches of the current teams as well as the current schedule, past champions, and more can be accessed via the text dropdowns in the header. There's also a new common feed for ACAC hockey info.

ACAC HOCKEY ONLINE'S 50 OF THE 50TH

In conjunction with the 50th season of men’s hockey in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, 50 individuals were acknowledged on All Decade Teams and as Noteworthy Contributors prior to the start of the 50th season in the summer of 2014 by ACAC Hockey Online.

All players who were either two time ACAC 1st Team All Stars or two time CCAA All Canadians were eligible to be a Player of the Decade on the All Decade Teams.

All individuals who participated at least five years in a capacity other than a player were eligible for ACAC Hockey Online's 50 of the 50th as a Noteworthy Contributor.

All head coaches who guided their team to multiple first place finishes and/or multiple league titles or coached five seasons with a first place finish or a league title were eligible to be a Coach of the Decade.

Seven coaches with over 100 seasons of ACAC head coaching experience selected the Coach of the Decade and Noteworthy Contributors in the first two rounds of voting.

Those selected in the first two rounds of voting joined those who cast ballots in the first two rounds of voting to select the players on the All Decade Teams.
